Special educational needs in museums, galleries and archives
Highly praised training on engaging effectively with children and young people with learning disabilities in museums, archives and other cultural and heritage organisations.
The needs and rights of children with special educational needs (SEN), or additional needs as they are also known, are often insufficiently met. Anne’s training explores the needs of children with learning difficulties and identifies appropriate provision and support.
Expected learning outcomes:
- more understanding of learning difficulties and their implications
- knowledge of the legislative and educational framework to SEN provision
- practical methods for supporting learning and overcoming barriers
- ideas for developing SEN children’s engagement with cultural and heritage settings and offers
- new ideas for activities and promotions
- more confidence when helping young people with learning problems
Anne’s SEN courses are backed up with extensive handouts, including definitions and legal responsibilities, websites and publications, case studies and an invaluable outline of conditions in which children with learning difficulties learn best.
Anne provides national, regional and in-house training. She tailors all her courses to client and delegate needs.
What people say about this training
The course gave me a clear understanding of SEN and in particular how to apply it in the heritage sector.
The course has given me much more confidence about the issues around working with SEN students. Anne was fantastic! Knowledgeable and a good facilitator.
Our organisations hope to increase its SEN provision, and this course provides the perfect starting point to consider how we take it forward.
A really good overview of what SEN are and how to approach different needs. Lots of good practical ideas.
Very very useful indeed. Having made a bit of a start with some groups, I now feel much more confident about building on this experience, and approaching different groups to work with.
The help was very practical, which is what I needed.
Very informative. Very clear explanations, good course booklet and very accessible. Excellent trainer!
